On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

After entering the warm and elegant inner room, Lin Zhen helped Gu Zhen sit down on the cushioned armchair.

He squatted down, looking straight into Gu Zhen's calm eyes, his tone becoming gentler than ever before: "Zhen'er, your husband has been less here recently, and I'm sorry for putting you through this. You have to take care of your body. You're pregnant now, and things are different than before. You absolutely must not do these rough and tiring work again. When you have nothing to do, just walk around and get some sun. It's good for both you and the baby."

"Yes, I understand." Gu Zhen nodded slightly, his tone still indifferent.

Lin Zhen looked at her seemingly indifferent appearance, and the strange feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger. He asked tentatively: "Zhen'er, aren't you curious about why I suddenly came to see you?"

Gu Zhen raised her eyelids and glanced at him. Her eyes were so clear that they could reflect a person's figure. Her voice remained calm: "If my husband wants to tell me, I will tell him. If my husband doesn't tell me, I won't ask any more questions."

This extreme level of "understanding" and "distantness" made Lin Zhen feel even more uncomfortable. He sighed softly and decided to speak frankly: "An assassin broke into the mansion this morning."

Gu Zhen's eyes, which were as calm as a lake, finally showed a slight fluctuation.

Lin Zhen continued, "That assassin was incredibly ferocious. He nearly injured Qingwen, and even nearly killed Chengyu!"

At this point, a cold glint flashed in his eyes again. "Luckily, Qingxia reacted quickly and successfully captured the assassin! However, this also made her angry and upset her fetus, leading to premature birth."

He paused, his voice lowering a bit, "Just over an hour ago, the delivery was over. Mother and child are safe."

Gu Zhen listened quietly. When she heard the words "finally safe", the corners of her slightly pursed lips seemed to relax for a very short moment, then she returned to her composure and just said softly, "God bless you."

Although the words were short, Lin Zhen caught the fleeting sigh of relief.

He looked at her, his eyes becoming unusually serious: "I am here today precisely because of this matter."

He reached out and gently held Gu Zhen's slightly cool hand on his knee. "Before, your husband deliberately ignored Qingxia and didn't visit her. In fact, I wanted to see if the Heart-Eating Gu would harm the fetus itself."

His gaze grew deep, as if weighing the weight of each word. "Qingxia's son's near-death experience today, followed by a sudden resurrection, was incredibly dangerous, but the root cause doesn't appear to be directly affecting the fetus itself. Divine Doctor Sun ultimately diagnosed the child as healthy. This, in turn, makes me realize that the Heart-Eating Gu isn't such a bad thing, so I'm here today to give you some medicine to ensure your safety."

Gu Zhen's face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years and was as cold as snow, rarely showed a faint blush as Lin Zhen said this, like a red plum blossom suddenly blooming under the ice, with a special kind of shyness.

She lowered her eyelids slightly, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyes. Her voice was as light as a feather brushing past her ears: "Well... I will listen to my husband."

With a kind of meekness that gives itself over completely.

At this moment, a cautious voice came from outside the door: "Prince, everyone is here."

A layer of frost instantly covered Lin Zhen's face. He let go of Gu Zhen's hand and stood up suddenly.

When I walked to the outer door, I saw a group of people kneeling in the yard. At a glance, there were at least seven or eight maids and servants.

The personal maid who had just been sent by Gu Zhen to buy things had just rushed back. She was so scared that her face turned pale, and she fell to her knees with a thud along with everyone else.

Lin Zhen's sharp and cold gaze swept across everyone like a knife, and finally fell on the personal maid and several leading servants. He slammed the eight-immortal table beside him, making a loud bang!

"How dare you! A bunch of lowly lazy slaves! Are you supposed to be working in the yard just for free? How dare you be lazy and do nothing! Leaving your master pregnant with no one to serve her! And making your master's own mother carry heavy buckets and do rough work?!"

His voice was low, but every word was like an icicle piercing his bones. "Is it because Madam Gu Zhen has a good temper and doesn't argue or talk, that you guys are taking advantage of her and think she's easy to bully? You don't want to live anymore, do you?"

The entire courtyard was utterly silent, a pin drop audible. The young servant who had claimed to be resting was so frightened by the force of the scene that he scrambled forward, slapped himself hard several times, and wailed with a mournful expression.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please spare us! We dare not even think of bullying Madam! It's because Madam always likes quietness and doesn't like to be disturbed. She doesn't allow us to go into the courtyard to do things, and only asks us to wait outside. That's why we neglected to serve in the courtyard! It was not intentional to be lazy! Please understand! Please spare us this time!"

"Hmph!" Lin Zhen snorted coldly, his expression not softening at all. "You like quietness? You don't allow me to do more work? You guys are really good at finding faults!"

He pointed at the still full bucket, "Where were you when Madam Gu came into the yard with the bucket and needed help?! Is this your attitude of waiting for orders? Are you deaf and blind?! I'm telling you, from today on, the rules of this yard have changed! You must rush to do the work that needs to be done! Do it with all your heart! If Madam Gu and Madam Gu Zhen need anything, you must be there at their beck and call! If I see them mother and daughter doing anything by themselves again, I know you dare to be negligent..."

Lin Zhen's voice suddenly rose, filled with murderous intent: "Then this prince will take the lives of all of you! Do you understand?!"

"I heard it clearly! I heard it clearly!"

"I won't dare to do that anymore! Never again!"

"Please calm down, my prince! We will definitely change! We will definitely change!"

A group of maids and servants kowtowed like chickens pecking at rice, their voices trembling.

"Get out! Everyone, do your job and do what you should do! Don't be an eyesore here!" Lin Zhen waved his hand impatiently.

This group of people felt as if they had been pardoned. They crawled and shoved each other as they fled from the courtyard that terrified them so much, not even daring to look back.

Looking at the quiet courtyard, Lin Zhen exhaled the foul air in his chest, and the murderous look on his face faded slightly.

He turned back to the inner door, but did not go in. He just softened his voice and said to the inside: "Zhen'er, the servants have been rearranged, and it's quiet outside."

After a moment, Gu Zhen appeared at the door.

Lin Zhen walked forward and took her hand naturally.

Gu Zhen did not refuse and let him hold his hand. The faint blush on his cheeks had not yet completely faded.

"Let's go back to the room and take the medicine obediently." Lin Zhen's voice carried a hint of deep meaning that only she could feel.

Gu Zhen lowered her eyelids, nodded imperceptibly, and let Lin Zhen lead her towards the depths of the bedroom.
